We are preparing project
BIG DEAL
(in the search for „a big contract“)The multimedia BIG DEAL project introduces the young generation of architects (35 – 40 years) from the Czech Republic and their way to success through their breakthrough contracts. The composition of participating studios unveils the diversity of domestic scene and distorts the stereotype picture of the linear Czech architecture development. We tried to bring to light the breaking point which predestined the future studios’ professional routes and which, in some cases, was fundamental even for their establishing.The choice of the offices is to show the various ways how young practices can gain commissions. Our intention isn’t only to show and understand the development of an architectural practice but also discuss the problems, which they often face in the competitive environment. Short documentary films are the core of the exhibition: they contain interviews with the (founder) members of the practices, tell the ‘story’ from personal point of view, and recount personal experiences of the architects.The exhibition will commence in Serbia (1.2. 2007 – 1.3.2007 at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Beograd) and then continue in Croatia (25.3. 2007 – 29.4. 2007, Croatian Museum of Architecture, Zagreb); in both states architectural development has undergone a similar route as in the Czech Republic after the year 1989. The exhibitions of the Czech architectural avant-garde, which were presented in the southern Slavonic states in the 1930s, determined the choice of the participating countries. The BIG DEAL endeavors to promote the best contemporary Czech architectureProject BIG DEAL will present these architectural studios:

Thank you for your understanding. Centre for Central European Architecture (CCEA) continues with organizing the series of lectures given by the young progressive studios from Austria also in autumn 2006. After the exhibitions of Querkraft, Delugan Meissl and AllesWirdGut, it is now the BKK-3 studio that will be presenting their architecture in Prague.
BKK-3 (Baukünstlerkollektiv)
Johny Winter, Franz Sumnitsch
BKK-3 is the third generation of BKK (Bakünstlerkollektiv) studio that was established in the 1980s in Vienna by Franz Sumnitsch (*1961) and John Winter (*1949). Their realizations rank BKK-3 among the young progressive architectural offices that are open to innovative spatial and formal solutions.
The Viennese alternative architectural movement of the 1980s, which was created as a response to stereotypical residential building solutions, served as a background for formation of BKK’s architectural perspective. Its understanding of architecture reflected particular requirements of building users (so called Participatory planning). BKK architecture is therefore formed in a close mutual cooperation with a developer.
The Matznergasse residential building in Vienna, so called Sargfabrik, built between 1994 and 1996 can be seen as a manifesto of BKK design. The structure containing 75 various apartment layouts can serve as an example of historic building regeneration as well as an illustration of loft spaces solutions, which are now very popular in Vienna.
Sargfabrik has revived the idea of community living in an interesting way and thus indirectly continues the tradition of Viennese “Hofs”. The structure thus provides not only residential spaces but also amenities (a large-scale community kitchen, playground, garden).
To some extent Sargfabrik can be linked to Unité d´habitation. Compared to Le Corbusier, BKK-3 does not close up or separate the housing development from the city and the public. In this point “coffin (Sarg) factory” breaks the borders of housing typology and links the social living with commercial functions of a town.
Apart from Sargfabrik and its more sophisticated version - Miss Sargfabrik, which brought BKK fame in Austria and abroad, the studio also designs commercial and administrative buildings (IP.ONE, IP.TWO, ICUB). The interest in coexistence and refinement of both private and public spaces can be clearly traced in their design.

media partners: ERA21, Radio1, www.archiweb.czAlso in this autumn, the Centre for Central European Architecture in Prague keeps promoting the projects which present contemporary architecture in an untraditional way, employ experimental methods and use novel art media. This all is also true of the BeneLon project, which was started by the Agents group in 2004. Agents, a group of young architects: Vendula Hladíkova, Bernarda Štorch and Štěpán Toman, have decided to take other than traditional ways to architecture presentation. In their interpretation even the word BeneLon conveys a picture of virtual version of an urban organism where the fragments of Benešov and London, the cities which the authors know very well, meet and penetrate each other.BeneLon is an experiment, an architectural vision of the town, an organism which transforms with every new information or with every new standpoint. Its final version does not exist, as the authors point out: “everybody has a possibility to influence BeneLon, to add new information”.
While the first part of the project (Museum of Art and Design in Benešov, autumn 2005) introduced the beginnings and development of BeneLon (the prehistory of the space), the BeneLon II – Find the Gap project aims at the gaps tracing in the contemporary world. The authors perceive the ‘gaps’ also as the meeting points of the real and the virtual.
The exhibition in Centre for Central European Architecture, in their exhibition space by the main station, presents one of possible ‘gaps’ – an imaginary market stand with melons which is placed on the treshold of two realities, where the shift of time, space and movement take place. In this context, ‘the queue for melons’ becomes a gate into a parallel world – to BeneLon.The three architects invited other 23 architects to join the BeneLon project. The artists, who come from the Czech Republic and abroad, and their ‘inputs’ have been influencing the project from its very beginning (MIDORI AINOURA + CHRISTIAN HILBER, BEN VAN BERKEL + CAROLINE BOSS, MATT CRAWFORD s GARY MARINKO ARCHITECTS + HOFMAN AND BROWN ARCHITECTS, KRISTÝNA CIPROVÁ, FI3ER, ALICE FUNG, JAN HLADÍK, ALAN HILLS, EVA JIŘIČNÁ, TAKATOMO KASHIWABARA, RADEK KOLAŘÍK, DENISA KOLLMANOVÁ, MICHAL KUNC, CLAUDIO LUCCHESI, PETR MALÉŘ, KAS OOSTERHUIS + ILONA LÉNÁRD, JAKUB SRPA, VENDULA ŠAFÁŘOVÁ, TOMÁŠ VESELÝ and others).
